The night was like a black curtain, which was pulled down and enveloped the heavens and the earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's already autumn, and this autumn in Hunan is particularly cold. Leaning on the water, the cold air is pervasive, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Every day at dawn, there was a heavy fog that did not disperse until evening.

The stars and moon overhead could no longer be seen, but Lianyunzhai and the huge dam below lit up countless lights. From the cliffs to the distant waters, they were covered by this sea of lights, as bright as day.

Like a knife, it swept over the limestone mountains, and let out the sharp sound of the ghost crying wolf.

The little girl standing on the cliff couldn't help but tremble, and her little face turned pale.

Niu Gao couldn't help but untie the big coat on her shoulder, and said softly: "Little sister, it's cold at night, your body is weak, but you can't stand it, let's go back, here I am." ”

The little sister wrapped the big one, and her eyes were full of happiness. Then, she shook her head again: "Brother Tie, I am Langzhong of the Divine Sect, and the troops have suffered great casualties in the past two days, so I will stay here to rescue the wounded." ”

Niu Gao smiled: "Sister, although you are Langzhong, you don't understand this kind of gun and stick injury, and it's not as good as me, Xibei." Don't worry, I've got you! Anyway, I'm also a doctor, not better than you. ”

The younger sister snorted: "What's so great about the imperial doctor, Brother Tie is now the marquis, but he looks down on me, a country girl?" ”

Niu Gao laughed: "Sister, where do you want to go, what kind of monkey am I, I didn't ask my brother for me." ”

"Flutter, monkey, is there a monkey as fat as you?" The little sister couldn't help but laugh.

The two of them were happy for a long time, and the little sister couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tie, now that Lianyunzhai has been surrounded by Wang Shen, how many people have been beaten back when we go out, you say, can we fight our way out of the encirclement?" ”

In the past two days, Wang Shen suddenly snatched the mountain pass checkpoints around Lianyun Village in the form of cavalry raids, forming an encirclement posture for the Zhongxiang in the village. ，

After hearing this bad news, Zhong Xiang was shocked and urgently ordered his elite cathars to counterattack.

It's a pity that today's time and location are all after Wang Shen. Under Lianyun Village is a large flat dam with a length and width of about 20 miles, which is suitable for cavalry charges.

First, Chen Lanruo's horse lance and heavy cavalry attacked in a roundabout way, Zhong Xiangjun's army was in chaos, and then Yue Yun's back army advanced head-on.

In the first battle, more than 1,000 levels were beheaded, and Zhong Xiangjun's army was terrified, and he no longer dared to fight Wang Shen head-on. Even if Zhong Xiang gave the death order, they were hesitant, and they collapsed at a single contact.

To this day, the Manichaeans on the hill no longer dare to go out into battle, but only defend the roads, the gates, and the city walls.

The terrain of Lianyunzhai is dangerous, and for a while, Wang Shen had no choice but to take Zhong Xiang, so he had to organize the infantry step by step to start attacking.

Siege warfare is the most brutal form of cold weapon warfare, and it is filled with human lives.

Nowadays, the contrast between the two armies, or rather the strength of the troops, is not too great.

Wang Shen had Chen Lanruo's 500 heavy cavalry, 2,000 backs, about 7,000 auxiliaries and people, plus more than 10,000 men; Zhong Xiang Yang had 2,000 elite apologetic troops, 4,000 other combat troops, and 6,000 auxiliary soldiers and young masters.

One side is the elite who dare to fight, and the other side has an impregnable fortress and stubborn resistance, but I don't know what it will be like when this battle is fought.

Hearing the younger sister's question, Niu Gao looked down, only to see that the fire below was even stronger, and the Sizhou army was constantly putting its soldiers into battle and began to attack the castle on the mountainside.

In the firelight, the ground and the road were full of corpses and broken siege equipment, several burning cocoons trembled in the wind, rumbling to the ground, and sparks were swaying in the wind and scattered all over the sky.

Squad after squad of infantry roared loudly, pushed ladders, raised their shields above their heads, and stormed the city.

The roar of war drums and long horns filled the ears, and the Manichaeans rained down their feathered arrows.

The melted lead poured down from above, like the tongue of a fire dragon, and the smell of burnt human flesh floated in the wind, which made people creepy to watch.

Rolling stones and trees poured down like raindrops, and many Sizhou army infantry fell down the ladder before they even had time to hum, and they could no longer stand up.

However, Wang Jun's side was not completely passively beaten, and a large number of siege equipment was manufactured in these two days.

Hunan is a mountainous and woody place, and both wood and stone can be easily obtained.

The rumbling was endless, it was the roar of the catapult. The cannon stones with the size of the grinding disc kept shooting, and if they hit, they died, and if they rubbed it, they died.

Suddenly, countless sparkling lines passed through the night sky, and the ears were full of sharp whistling sounds.

The Manichaeans in the castle screamed in horror at the same time: "Bed crossbow, bed crossbow!" ”

Wounded people with incomplete limbs were constantly sent to the mountains, and the little sister and Niu Gao could not be treated at all. In many cases, it is just ordered to be wrapped indiscriminately and thrown on the side of the road.

This is the first time that Wang Shenjin has launched a hard attack on Lianyunzhai, and the intensity is extremely strong, and the battle has been fought from the beginning to the present, and there has been no pause for a moment.

If there is no miscalculation, both sides have already paid for five or six hundred dead and wounded.

The Manichaeans slaughtered the unbelieving people on a daily basis, and the methods used to slaughter the so-called heretics and the so-called heretics such as Confucian scholars, monks, Taoist priests, and doctors. However, when it really came to him, he was completely shocked.

Hearing the little sister ask herself in front of so many people, Niu Gao's heart moved, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to shake the enemy's military heart.

deliberately pretended to be miserable: "Sister, it's useless, you can't rush out." You see that there are all flat rivers below, we are mostly infantry, as long as we go down the mountain, the enemy's cavalry rushes, and immediately disperses. In fact, Wang Shen didn't need to rush to attack the city, he just needed to block it below, and trap us for three or five months, and all the brothers on the mountain would starve to death. And Wang Shen can calmly replenish troops and grain and grass, don't forget, Li Cheng on the Dingzhou side hasn't moved yet? When the time comes, our people will fight less and less, and the enemy will fight more and more. ”

His voice became louder: "Yes, if you desperately break through, the official family and the younger brother can still rely on the fast horse and the loyal soldiers under him to fight a bloody escape." But in the end, how many of the more than 10,000 brothers in this village can go out? If I'm not mistaken, there are only about a hundred war horses on this mountain, that is, no more than a hundred will survive in the end. However, everyone can rest assured, stay in the green mountains, and are not afraid of no firewood. As long as the official family and the younger brother can live, our Divine Sect will not die. One day, it will definitely be reinvigorated. ”

After listening to what he said, the surrounding Manichaeans all looked miserable, and some people couldn't help but tremble. In the end, less than a hundred people will survive this battle, and it seems that we are doomed.

Death is dead, no matter how much the Divine Cult is carried forward in the future, what does it have to do with grandpa.

For a while, everyone was extremely depressed, and the little sister was also pale.

Niu Gao saw that she was frightened, and at the same time, he was happy, but he couldn't bear it. He said in a low voice: "Don't worry, sister, with my brother here, you will definitely get a war horse, and you may rush out when the time comes." ”

Secretly, he sneered: Zhong Xiang, Yang Mi, since Grandpa Niu has mixed up with you, if you want to escape, leave your head first.

The younger sister suddenly reached out to hold Niu Gao's hand, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Brother Tie, don't worry, if there is a horse, I will give it to you." ”

"Ah......h

The younger sister raised her head and looked at Niu Gao, her eyes were full of love: "Brother Tie, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to live." ”

Niu Gao's heart fluctuated for a while, and he could see that the little sister really had herself in her heart. And he was originally a man in his forties, and he was a local wealthy family, and he never paid attention to women, and he did not have the slightest psychological burden on deceiving his sister's feelings. However, when I heard my sister's sincere words, an indescribable feeling suddenly came up in my heart.

"I'm such a bastard!" When the younger sister left, Niu Gao couldn't help but want to slap himself: "However, when the eldest husband is very special, he should do extraordinary things, and he wants to do so much, Grandpa Niu can't be weak." Otherwise, Lao Tzu himself looks down on himself first. ”
